Mardle on Van Gerwen-Cross clash in Cardiff: ‘On recent showing, Van Gerwen seems to have Cross' number’

Mardle has said that if Cross can defeat Van Gerwen he can afford a slip up or two. But that Van Gerwen has Cross’s Number so he expects him to win. ‘I mentioned the points, it's so important. If Cross can beat Van Gerwen then he can even afford a slip-up, maybe a draw in his last four games and still win the league phase, but you know me, I don't go against Van Gerwen,’ said Mardle. ‘The form of Van Gerwen in the Premier League against Rob Cross is three 7-2 wins and a 10-6 in the Play-Offs. I don't fancy Cross to beat him, I really don't.’ ‘On recent showing, Van Gerwen seems to have Cross' number. For whatever reason, Cross has not played well against Michael recently - I didn't know why that is.’ for more information about the Premier League Darts, including all the fixtures and the prize fund breakdown.
